It must be understood that in order to gain the exact understanding intended the reader should learn the German language. As a group we provide our "best as possible" English translation. Just as we are continually learning the Spiritual Teaching, we are also continually learning the German language in our German-to-US English translations. It needs to be understood that an exact translation from German to any other language is not possible. We fully utilize the on-going efforts of FIGU, for progressively assisting in the development of more accurate translations, by providing an evolving tool such as the FIGU Dictionary. In your studies of the Teaching we encourage also spending some time constantly equating the German words and phrase with the English words you are reading and while processing the idea-thought-feeling energy impulses. If In these comparisons you should find a translation error, it is our request that, especially those that are fluent in the German language, submit corrections to us, as we strive to provide an accurate dissemination of the original German intent-to-word structured idea-thought impulses for positive-neutrally processing into knowledge, through our English translations. The original German is included with each paragraph (in green on webpages),

The Christmas festivity from a pedagogical perspective

Die Weihnachtsfeier aus pädagogischer Sicht

Who doesn't celebrates it - the day of the birth of Jesus Christ, the alleged redeemer and savior? The celebration of the human being becoming god, with which Jesus went down in the history of the human beings, in order to experience their joys and sufferings and to give all new hope? The holy celebration of the dedicated night, with which god reveals himself to the human beings in a wise, that overwhelmingly could not be?

Overwhelmingly? Correct, because the true roots of this highest Christian festivity are actually overwhelmingly unchristian! If one fights namely even through the sprawling, vine-like undergrowth of Christian-historical irrational teachings and uses the machete of the real facts, then the true and original roots of Christian Christmas come quickly to light.

Unfortunately one must be already at the beginning of the brief excursion into the history of the Christmas separate from the trusted thought, baby-Jesus has on the 25th of December seen the light of the world, because but there is actually not a single evidence - not even a Christian one. The conclusion to draw from this, this significant, Christian-religious act was more or less arbitrary placed on this date, however would be completely wrong, because arbitrariness played and plays in the great staged "enslavement of a world" a rather unwanted role. However not only the determination of the date, but rather also the holy festivity itself gives impetus to the most diverse, critical considerations and investigations.

Originally the still very recent Christianity recognized only the annual Passover, which already at that time closely followed the Jewish celebration of the same. Already soon the Christian Passover was interwoven with the thoughts of wondrous resurrection of Jesus and accordingly was celebrated with a festive meal. The day of the birth of Jesus was for a long time dressed into no religious festivity - on the contrary: the perception of a human being becoming god was even initially massively pursued, because it too much resembled the natural-heathen perception, Gods would simply be able to procreate and be born. Not with the birth of Christ, but rather not until with his resurrection has itself manifested the godly into him, argued the Christians. Latter from the Passover became Easter, while one which competed with the heathen celebration "Alban Eilir", which the goddess of young light and life, Ostara, was honored. Not until three hundred years latter should itself shift the weight in favor of Christmas. Since religious festivities and rites closely connected with the cultural, political and societal development of a people, for clarifying the origin of Christmas some historical facts must be called attention to.
